The judge's lists of The Lakeland Terrier Club are compiled each year in conjunction
with The Midland Lakeland Terrier Club. A Sub Committee has been formed consisting of at least 50%
of senior breed judges who are qualified to championship level, and others of high standing and experience.
This is now referred to as The Lakeland Terrier Joint Judges Sub Committee (JJSC).
The representative members of the JJSC are appointed at the Annual General Meetings of each club and meet every
year to carry out their role of placing aspirant judges on the appropriate list and also to consider if the
criteria needed to obtain a place on the list are still correct and fair.
In order to appear on the Joint Judges List, the aspirants must submit their CV, giving all relevant experience,
to the sub committee and also be willing to be tested for their knowledge of the breed. Testing takes place at a
Seminar presented and arranged by the JJSC and held in accordance with the Kennel Club's Code of Best Practice.
Here the JJSC share their expertise in lecture, discussion and debate and also test the students in written,
oral and practical situations. A seminar is held at least bi-annually or annually if demand requires.
Other requirements for a place on the judging list are a pass from a Kennel Club approved seminar on
Rules and Regulations, another on Conformation and Movement, plus a required number of classes and dogs judged
from our breed and others within a specific time scale.
